June 2015

The sales of lake homes in 2015 are up 89% over 2014 and are already at 40% of 2014 total sales, according to multiple listing services statistics. The biggest increase is in the $150,000 to $200,000 price range and $250,000 to $350,000 range.

One of the reasons for the increase in sales is the good availability of lake homes for sale which is at a 16.4 month supply. That gives buyers more options to purchase the home they desire. In plain words, buyers don't have to wait for the "perfect home" to come on the market. It is a good time to sell because of the number of buyers in the market and a good time to buy due to the selection availability.
